"Everyone out, we can't stay here any longer."
Li Zhonglou suddenly spoke and then took the lead, using his movement technique to slip through a gap as the giant lizards were still thrashing about.
The giant lizards then retreated one after another due to their wild charges, knocking over a group of other giant lizards behind them.
"Number Five!"
No one expected Li Zhonglou to suddenly break away from the team and act on his own. It was usually the captain who directed in such situations; otherwise, a team would fall into chaos.
Blond Henry cursed. Although he didn't know why Li Zhonglou would suddenly do this, he had an intuition that a normal person would not engage in suicidal behavior.
If they were to get out, now was the best opportunity, because due to the wild charges of that giant lizard, a safe area had temporarily appeared in front of them.
"Go!"
There was no room for him to hesitate at such a moment. Blond Henry made a decisive call and, before the other giant lizards could react, he gave the order and charged towards Li Zhonglou's direction.
The other three naturally had nothing to say and followed suit, unfolding their movement techniques.
Li Zhonglou ran all the way to the other side of the arena before stopping. He looked back and saw that Blond Henry and the others had followed, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
If it weren't for his Sky Eye's透视 (tòushì - perspective/insight), he would have also thought that fighting inside was the best option. After all, there were at least three stone walls inside, and they only had to face one giant lizard at a time. But once they were outside, there was danger from all four sides.
However, just now, Li Zhonglou habitually used his Sky Eye's透视 (tòushì) and was horrified to discover that the load-bearing pillars on both sides of the stone walls had already fractured. And above everyone's heads were thousands of kilograms of rock.
If they were trapped inside and crushed, let alone him, no one could survive in such a situation!
Moreover, Li Zhonglou suspected that even without the giant lizards' collisions, the structure would collapse on its own.
There were only two entrances to the entire gladiatorial arena. If one collapsed so easily, how would the people behind participate? This competition had been held for so many years, and no one had ever mentioned a pause.
Therefore, he believed this should be a trap, and those three stone walls were also a mechanism, albeit a rather costly one.
That was why he had suddenly spoken out to lead a few people out. Although he couldn't be sure when the structure would collapse, based on the observations, it was definitely going to happen.
However, all of this was known only to Li Zhonglou. The four people, unaware of the situation, rushed over. Blond Henry immediately berated him.
"Zhonglou, don't do this again! And you owe us an explanation afterward!"
As the few people ran over, the giant lizards on the other side had already blocked the entrance, and several quick-thinking ones had already started crawling towards them.
This meant that the "safe space" was temporarily inaccessible. And the group now faced the possibility of being surrounded and attacked by the giant lizards.
"Scatter, don't let them surround us, then find a chance to return to the entrance!"
Blond Henry quickly made the correct decision. Hearing him, everyone scattered. Li Zhonglou followed behind You Yiku.
In fact, in Li Zhonglou's opinion, dealing with these giant lizards outside was much easier than inside. Everyone only felt that dealing with one at the entrance was more effort-saving and safer, but they had all overlooked that the giant lizards' speed was not fast at all.
Let alone them, even some trained special forces soldiers could dodge the pounces of these giant lizards. To the few of them, the speed of these giant lizards was almost like slow motion.
Perhaps the giant lizards were too intimidating in appearance, causing them to overlook this point for a moment and only focusing on avoiding their immediate threat.
Following a ground-shaking tremor, each of the five scattered individuals found themselves being pursued by several giant lizards. The three of Blond Henry mentally cursed Li Zhonglou countless times at this moment, because they were now in no condition to fight back. Under the gaping maws of the giant lizards, they could only flee, while also having to avoid their companions in front.
"Damn it, when will this end if it goes on like this!"
The mentality of the three was already exhausted, both physically and mentally. However, at this moment, a loud roar suddenly came from the entrance, which was no longer guarded. The few who were fleeing were startled and all looked sideways.
They saw that the entrance, which they had been longing for and which was no longer blocked by giant lizards, had now turned into a ruin. A giant rock at least six or seven meters high had crashed down squarely upon it.
The hearts of the few people pounded!
"What would happen to us if we were still inside?"
The question that unconsciously surfaced in their minds made them afraid to answer. Such consequences were beyond their capacity to bear!
Number Five saved us again!
It was only then that the few people truly understood why Li Zhonglou had acted that way just now. It was clear that he had sensed something was wrong beforehand.
Blond Henry was filled with regret at this moment. As soon as they came out, his first reaction was not gratitude, but to question and blame Li Zhonglou, and to demand an explanation afterward...
Damn it, if we can survive, it's me who should be demanding an explanation!
Blond Henry suddenly slapped himself. Damn it, from now on, I won't question Brother Zhonglou again!
Although the others did not act as exaggeratedly as Blond Henry, their thoughts were similar. Their psychological journey was almost identical to Blond Henry's, except they had not expressed it before.
Then, the collapse of the entrance was just a minor interlude. The relentless pursuit of the giant lizards quickly drew their attention back.
"Damn it, how do we kill these things? Are we going to be stuck in this first round!"
Number Two shouted from a distance, and Li Zhonglou's brow furrowed. He didn't expect their reaction to be so slow. He glanced at You Yiku in front of him, who also looked worried and hadn't reacted, and after a long period of contemplation, Li Zhonglou suddenly stopped.
Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble. Seven giant lizards behind them charged like seven great mountains. Seeing Li Zhonglou standing still, the giant lizard in the front suddenly opened its gaping maw, and the dense needle-like fangs, carrying a bloody wind, bit directly towards Li Zhonglou's head.
You Yiku noticed the abnormality behind her, looked back, and her face changed drastically.
"Number Five, dodge quickly!"
Her shout also attracted the attention of others, and their expressions all changed.
Li Zhonglou calmly watched the giant lizard's movements. When it was about a meter away from him, his body suddenly flickered, and when he reappeared, he was already above the giant lizard.
A hint of confusion flashed in those enormous, lantern-like blood-red eyes. Li Zhonglou narrowed his eyes, lightly tapped the giant lizard's nose with his left foot. It seemed effortless, but the next moment, he kicked its large eye like a cannonball.
Fast!
So fast that the giant lizard didn't even have time to blink!
A pillar of blood immediately gushed out, soaring into the sky.
